Government Berita

The federal government is increasing its funding to the International Association of Fire Fighters to provide additional training for urban firefighters to combat wildfires, which are becoming a growing threat to Canada's cities and towns. The government is allocating $800,000, twice the amount spent last year, to train more firefighters in areas where combustible forests are prevalent. This decision comes after recent devastating wildfires in various regions of Canada.
